Two traditional Hawaiian Hula dancers are seen flanking either side of the Royal Hawaiian State Seal. Both women are depicted in dance visually framing the seal. The use of the beauty of the native Hawiian beach creates a visually encompassing image. Allowing the natural landscape, humanity and governance to be presented in a holistic manner. Such subjects are cherished as they present a cultural standpoint and unification for the people of Hawaii.
